Share with Others

If you teach a language class (or are a student in one), you can make a vocabulary list in Lexicon and then share it with other students.

Share Your Words

First, create your words as usual and put them all in a group (it can be a normal group or a Smart Group). Then, select that group in the Group Table and select File > Web Publish. If you have a .Mac account, choose to Publish to .Mac, otherwise choose Local Folder. Fill in the Title you want to publish this vocabulary as and click Next. Select the path you want to publish to (either locally or on .Mac), and check "Update Automatically", then click Next again. Check the Wordcast checkbox and if you chose to publish to a Local Folder, fill in the address of the web page you will use (If you chose .Mac, you don't need to enter an address). Then just click Publish! Now any changes you make to the published words will automatically be updated when you save. Give out the address of your wordcast to allow others to subscribe to it (described below).

Subscribe to Shared Words

Open or create the Lexicon document you want to use. Select Group > Subscribe to Wordcast. Enter the address of the wordcast (ask your teacher or fellow student who published the wordcast for its address). A new group will be created with the words from the subscribed wordcast. Whenever the wordcast is updated, the new or changed words will be updated in your group as well!
